I will seek it yet again." With an iaBight into human naturo suoh as no other man over had Solomon in theco words is sketohicg tho mental processes of a man who has steppod asido from tho path of rootitudo and would like to return.

But suppoao a 1 youog man isalroad/ nhipwrookod, sap 1 poso ho is already off tho track, suppose ho has already gono astray, how oan ho got back? Tnat is a question that ro mains ur.anBWored, and auiid all the books of too ltbrarios 1 fiod not ono 1 word on that subjaot. To that olafs of 1 persons 1 this day address inyeolf. You couiparo what you oro now with what you wcro throo or four ycars ago, and you aro groatly disheartened. You > aro roady with overy passion of your soul to liaton to a disousfion liko this. Bo of good oheoi 1 Your best days aro yot to oomo. 1 offer you tho hand of weloomo and rosouo. I put tho silver trumpet of tho gospol to 107 lips and 1 blow ono long, loud blast saying, * "WhoHover will, lot him como, and let him oome niw." Tho ohuroh of God is roady lo spread a banquol upon your ro turn, and ail tho hurarobs of heaven fall into huo of bauncrod procession over your rodciuption. Years ago. and alula yet Albort Barnes was living, 1 p oaohad in his pulpit one night to tho young niou of Philadelphia. In tho opening of my disoourso I said, ' 0 Lord, give mo one soul tonight I ' At tho oioso of the service Mr. Barnos iuvroluaed ayouug 1 man, saying, "fh s is tho young runa you prayod for." But I ace uuw it was J a too Hunted prayer. L otlur no such prayer tcdiy. It must Uknin u wider ( sweep. ' Lord, give us all those eoola today for happincas and heaven! 8o far as Cud may help ino 1 propoao to eliow what aro t^o obataoles to your return and then liow you aro to t uruiouut tlubo obat&oloH. The first difficulty in tho way of your return ia tho foroa of moral gravitation. .Jaatas thtro is a natural law which bnu^s down to earth ' an) tiling you throw in olhe air, to itatr*> ia a corresponding moral gravtta'.iou. 1 nevtr shall forget a pray, r I heard a youug man make iu tho Y ung M n's Christian Asstoialion of New Y-itk Witn trcuibniK voice and bircauung ojeabothii: *0 God, thou know, hi how easy it ib for ui i to do wrong sun how hard it ia tor mo to do right! Goo helpuu!' That man ki.ows not hia own heart who hal novtrleli the power of moral grav .taiiou. lo your boyhood you had good as'ooiales and bad atsooiatis. \V hioh most iniDreNsad von?

To whioh did your tout uioro easily yield? But that moril gravitation may 1 bo rosisicd. Just as you tuay piok up at ythiDg from the oarth and hold it io your, baud toward keavon, j ist so, by tho power of God's grace, a lailcu soal 1 may bo lifted toward poio*. toward par don, toward salvauoa, . #Ue foroo of ' moral gravitatiou is in ev*.-ry ouo of us, but also power iu God's grado to ovoroomo that foroo.* 1 Tho next thing in the way of your I return is the power of evil habit. 1 know tbore aro thoso who nay it is vcrv 1 easy for them to give up ovii habits. 1 ' oatinot believe them. Ilore is a uiau 1 given to iutoxioation, who known it is disgracing Iub family, destroying bis j property and ruioing him?body, mind j and soul. If that man, being an lutelli- j gent man and loving his family, oould ] easily givo up that habit, would he not \ do so? The faot that ho does not givo j it up provos that it is hard to give it , up. it is a very oasy thing to Bail j down stream, tho tidooirrying you < with great foroc; but suppose you turn j *U - 1? - .1 uu*t up Biicnui, id bu easy men | to row it? Aa long as wo >iold to tho i evil inclinations in our heart and to our bad habitp we aro sailing down btrcani^ ( but the moment wo try to turn wo put v our boat in tho rapida juat above < Niagara and try to row up aircaua. 1 A physician tolls his patient that ho 1 must quit the use of tobaooo, as it is ] destroying his health. Tho man re i plies, "1 oan atop that habit easy 1 enough." Ho quits tho uao of the 1 weed. He goes around not knowing 1 what to do with himself. He oannot > add up a column of figures; he oaunot i sleep nights, it eocms ss if tho world 1 had turned upside down, lie feels his 1 business is going to ruin. Where ho < was kind and obliging ho is sodding i and frctfu'. The oompoauro that ' oharaoteriaod him has given way to a i fretful robtleasness, and he has beoomo 1 a oompiete fidget. What power is it ( that has rolled a wavs of woo ovor the l earth and shaken portont in the heavens? Ho has quit tobaooo. Aftor ' awhile he says: "i am going to do as > 1 pleasa. The doctor does not under- t stand my oase. 1 am going baok to 1 my old habits." And bo returns, h Kverything assumes its usual oompos- g urc.
